Week 9- Discussion Question 1- Symbolism

In literature, symbolism refers to an object, character, figure, or color that is used to represent an idea or concept. Examples: the “peace sign” symbolizes peace; wedding rings symbolize commitment; in the novel “The Giver,” the uniforms that everyone wore symbolized conformity; and in the novel, “Tom Sawyer,” the cave that Tom and Becky were lost in symbolizes Tom’s growth into a mature person.
